Foxman is comically bitter about "The Passion". Like I said, I will be curious to see how Gibson handles the issue of "purgatory", since, as you already know, Luther removed those problematic books from the Protestant canon.

Oh, so THAT'S where purgatory went, I'd been wondering. I hope Gibson DOESN'T make any more movies for a while, it would take away from what he's done with TPOTC.

As a cradle Catholic, I have never heard that "purgatory" came out of Maccabbees. Could you enlighten me, please?
I also had no idea that Protestants didn't believe in purgatory!! Geesh...I feel really stuid.

Luther removed those problematic books from the Protestant canon. The books of the Maccabees were never part of the Hebrew scriptural canon.

I don't know where purgatory fits in with the Chanukah story.

Actually, those historical writings, known as the Apocrapha, were in the first printings of the King James Bible.
They were taken out later because they were not Scripture, and even the Jews agree with that.
